Detained several representatives of Special Forces "Berkut", suspected of killing protesters in Kiev February 20 - Mahnitsky


Acting Prosecutor General of Ukraine Oleg Mahnitsky announced the arrest of a number of representatives of the Special Forces "Berkut" suspected in the shooting of peaceful demonstrators in the center of Kiev on February 20.

"Detained several representatives of Special Forces" Berkut ". This so-called" black mouths "" Berkut ", which was intended for special operations", - said the acting Attorney General told reporters.

"At this time, a number of individuals have already been installed, implemented measures to detain them, and also efforts and investigations to establish the others" - said O.Mahnitsky.

According to him, it is a "black Rota" Special Forces "Berkut", which was issued weapons, including sniper.

In turn, Deputy Prosecutor General Alexei Baganets explained: "Berkut" firearms not received, including Kiev. Just received (firearms - IF) special company. Their task was, so they now explain, but we did not fully believe in, shoot the attacking protesters and allow the main forces "Berkut", who were unarmed, had only non-lethal weapons, retreat to the street Instytutska Bankovoj area. "
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56374216

The article is at [link to interfax.com.ua] .

The last paragraph translated poorly so if you speak Ukrainian can you please clarify? Baganets said the normal Berkut in Kiev was unarmed (well, we have seen a lot of video of them with shields and a billy stick), but a special company was armed (probably the guys we saw in front of October Palace). Their task was to provide cover for the unarmed Berkut to escape the Maidan area. Now, question is - did he say these special forces only had non-lethal weapons (like rubber bullets)? I don't know what "had only non-lethal weapons" modifies, if the normal Berkut it seems to say both they were unarmed and that they had only non-lethal weapons ....
 Quoting: Sun_dancer


I do not speak Ukanian.

It appears this investigation is only with regard to the actions of Berkut.

There has been no mention of the police that were shot and the bullets pulled from them matching those pulled from protesters.

I dont think there is a proper investigation.

They are framing Berkut for the whole thing.

You are absolutely right. The head investigator is with Svoboda party, and his associates are prime suspects. Moreover, the killings resulted in him obtaining a lot of power in government, which in Ukraine means, as prosecutor, my goodness, this is good money!!! (but not from government, if you know what I mean). So in any event this guy has a very strong bias.

On the other hand Russia has offered to assist in the investigation and has consistently demanded an objective, international investigation, spearheaded by the EU.

Now it seems EU is not taking part in this investigation and it is only the Nuland-appointed government headed by biased people/puppets.

Germany will know if this is because of pressure from US (by this I mean, Nuland and her neo-con comrades).

Estonian FM was mistakenly quoting DR Olga Bogomolets, and claimed that she had treated both police and protestors. That is false. She only treated protestors on the 20th.

There were no 'police that were wounded with the same bullets that the protestors were.'

Also there is no 'framing of the Berkut.' The Berkut shooters ID's are known and have been known for a while now and are verifiable from multiple video and picture and from the statements of many of their police colleagues. Those of you continuing to insist otehrwise in the face of this are into pure dishonesty now.

Yes Estonian FM probably misspoke about how he got this information, but he was certain about the conclusion. I sometimes make mistakes like this too - I gather evidence from many sources and come to a conclusion, sometimes later when I tell what happened I make mistakes about who said what.

The important thing is the conclusion he reached about who was responsible (and he was there to investigate and spoke with many people). Also he never claimed that the Dr. (who by the way got big promotion in the coup government) treated police; she could have learned the type of weapons used to kill police from someone else. I have also heard other sources claim the police suffered from same bullet types, not just her.

As to framing, I again challendge you to show a single picture or video of a police killing a protester. NOT of a police shooting rubber bullets; not of police shooting but we don't know at what; not of protester dieing but we don't see who shot. Where is picture and video (and if you use video, please state exact time when this happens) of police shooting and killing a protester?

I think it is you being dishonest because I have made this request many times on this list and never any evidence!

3 police commandoes suspected of Kiev protesters’ shooting detained in Ukraine

World April 03, 9:42 UTC+4

KIEV, April 03. /ITAR-TASS/. The Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office, the country’s Security Service and the country’s Interior Ministry have detained three Berkut police commandoes on suspicion of mass shooting of people in central Kiev on February 20, news agency Ukrinform reported on Thursday.

“The detainees are officers of Kiev police commando squadron Berkut, the so-called “black squadron”. They are suspected of mass killing of people,” the news agency quoted Prosecutor General Oleh Makhnitsky as saying. In the words of the general prosecutor, the detention operation was carried out on Wednesday evening and criminal proceedings were instituted. “Several other suspects in the February 20 events were identified,” Makhnitsky added.

Ukrainian chief law enforcers will deliver officially an intermediate report over investigation of shooting case of people at protest actions in central Kiev on Thursday.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5383047

It was two hours of firing? Do you have video of this? Because the entire event was recorded all day with numerous cameras, I have not seen 2 hours of firing (maybe this was total elapsed time, but I have not seen two hours of firing).

And I don't know what weapons the police shown in the videos I have seen used or what types of rounds (lethal or non-lethal), There are some places where they are clearly using non-lethal bullets. I know at the time the government was claiming it was all non-lethal and no police had live ammunition. Yes you will claim this is lie because government said it, so I ask you: show proof please of police killing someone. Obviously you have none this is why you are making silly accusation after silly accusation.

There simply is a lot of evidence the "opposition" forces shot the protesters, this is fact you refuse to accept because of ideological reasons.

Try to look at this with open mind - like professional. What is the evidence? Not some cleverly edited videos, the fact they are edited so very very cleverly just increases the suspicion that it was all a set-up, including the cameramen.

That's what I have been asking. What exactly are the Russian military objectives in east and south Ukraine?

Actually none of these videos shows who shot the protesters - it is clever set-up.

What is gonna be your new defense when they admit to it but claim justifable?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5383047

Just as an aside - if the officers claim they are guilty, and receive less than the maximum sentence, it does not mean they are guilty (indeed, even if they are convicted it does not mean this). One can look at the evidence and judge for oneself if it is convincing or not - the jury is just some regular people.

Now plea bargains are really blackmail, at least in US, I don't know how Ukraine works, maybe you can enlighten us? In US the government will say "Say you are guilty and we take death penalty off the table". So now if you are defendant, the questions is not whether you are guilty, but whether you think you will be convicted. If you know the government is dishonest, and will convict you no matter what (maybe it controls the judge, maybe it has used so much propaganda before the trial that everyone in the country already believes you are guilty and will not believe you when you say you are innocent), what would you do?

There are quite many people who will plead guilty instead of innocent in order to avoid what they think is a certain death penalty (or for example, 50 years in jail when plea bargain is for 5 years).

I believe a plea bargain is unconstitutional, because it deprives a defendant of trial by jury. The government, in my opinion, cannot offer you a lesser charge for pleading guilty - this is blackmail / extortion / thuggery.
